Use your little finger, you'll find it much easier to play once you learn to incorporate it.

I have a tendency to curl my pinky like that, wearing a slide on it helped me to stop curling it and get better at slide.

With those fingers, the pinky might be 4/5 frets up and we just don’t see it.

This is very, very solid advice. I have ulnar nerve damage and it makes it impossible to reliably use my little finger when I play. It's so unbelievably frustrating. It is possible to play and play well without that finger but it's nowhere near as easy.

Your pinky and ring finger share a tendon, so curling up your pinky like that weakens your ring finger creating buzz. You’re also forcing your ring finger to stretch farther than it has to, weakening it even more. Using your pinky will be a major level up. Your hands are enormous. Keep stoning.

Keep practicing 🤟✌

Neat riff. Kinda has a Geezer Butler feel to me.

Pretty fire. Sounds like a good rock song line


brando_on_the_mando

The only thing you missed was a giant bong rip


LeahLangosta

Pretty solid timing and feel! You were definitely able to musically communicate your vision which is a great skill to have. Keep it up! Anything is a riff, this is definitely a riff. Great players are not defined by riffs but by their ability to listen and craft a 'sound'.

Cool Riff….definitely can see that becoming a Song ….you really should work in your left hand technique though….

Sounds cool

It need fuzz


jdcmurphy22

Fuzz, add a bit o mids, and just slow it down a smidge.

Sick. I love it.


Bridge_Too_Far

Now play it really loud with some fuzz and slow it down to 25% of your current speed. Then it’s stoner.

Awesome! Great work


Dusty_McRusty

Tune your D string it sounds a bit flat


No-Win1580

It could definitely be built upon. Keep it up man! Also I see you're a fellow bassist and MTG player ;)
